The first SGE Development Workshop brought together Grid Engine users,
developers and development partners from sixteen organizations, out of
research and industry, in six different countries. The attendees participated
in introductory sessions to the Grid Engine project and a code walk through,
had the opportunity to give an overview on their own Grid Engine projects,
and to learn about others' Grid interests, foci and results. Breakout sessions
on several topics further stimulated discussion of common interests. Additional
Grid Engine Development Workshops will be proposed on the project mail
lists.

<font size=+0>Abstract:</font></h6>
In August 1998 cards Engineering was able to place an on-site support contract
at Ford Motor Company in Cologne/Merkenich. I started there maintaining
the CAE (Computer Aided Engineering) application server. About 50 CAE applications
are installed on their server which is a SUN Ultra Enterprise 450. My activity
covered the installation of the applications, 1st- and 2nd-level helpdesk
and the license maintenance of all these products. Additionally I had to
collaborate very closely with the Ford colleagues in Dunton/UK and Dearborn/USA.
<p>During this time some Ford people thought about a better usage of their
workstations (w/s), mainly HPs and altogether about 800 w/s. Additionally
they thought they could decrease the costs the Cray supercomputer was producing.
<p>About at the same time SUN acquired Gridware and we saw a good opportunity
to help Ford with introducing a resource management system. With our close
connections to SUN we were able to introduce SGE at Ford and to create
a workstation cluster in two development departments at Ford. After one
of my colleagues from the Cologne cards PIT team took over my job maintaining
the CAE server I was able to work on the w/s cluster based on a new contract.
<p>In these months from summer 2001 until April 2002 SGE was installed
on about 80 w/s and adapted 8 CAE applications (i.e. Radioss, Nastran,
Fluent) for the workstation cluster for using them in serial (1 CPU or
w/s) and/or parallel mode. This had to be done by changing startup scripts,
GUI configurations and creating submit scripts. Additionally I configured
the cluster due to user's wishes.
<p>With the help of some SUN guys we were able to convince the responsible
persons at Ford of Europe that SGE is a good product which does exactly
what they requested. Unfortunately we were not able to convince the Ford
of US people completely. Over there LSF and PBS, two competitive products,
are very strong and already used before we began with SGE. Nevertheless
it was possible to install a productive w/s cluster in Cologne and Dunton/UK
and to satisfy the users concerning their needs.

The aim of this collaboration between EPCC and Sun is to produce a job
scheduler (based on SGE) which can submit jobs to both local and remote
machines. Globus will provide a secure means of running jobs on remote
sites.
<br>The project is still at an early fact-finding stage so this talk will
compare some potential solution strategies and invite comments from the
floor on the technical issues arising.

Grid research and development at Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center
(PSNC) will be presented during the SGE Workshop. Amongst different projects
the presentation will be focused on GridLab and Progress projects and their
relationships to SGE.
<br>Two important aspects of Grid technology, which have been largely ignored,
form the basis of the GridLab Project, which aims to build components for
Grid applications, and realistic testbeds for their development: Co-development
of Infrastructure and Applications and Dynamic Grid Computing.
<br>In case of Progress project, scientific portal and Grid environment
for SUN Servers will be developed based on SUN technologies. The main goal
of this project is to provide reliable and easy access to the Grid as well
as support research community with many useful tools and services.</blockquote>

<font size=+0>Abstract:</font></h6>
The London e-Science Centre at Imperial College, one of the eight Regional
Centres within the UK e-Science program, is involved in the construction
of Grid infrastructures within the College and in the UK through the use
of SGE, Globus and its own grid middleware - ICENI.
<br>As part of the Centre's activities, and as a Sun Centre of Excellence,
we have been developing middleware to support an e-Science Portal at the
College (based on uPortal), the use of the Technical Compute Portal to
access Sun Grid Engine through the uPortal infrastructure, and the integration
of scheduling infrastructures (such as SGE) through a web service enabled
DRMAA interface.
<br>The presentation will comprise an overview of this work and its future
directions.

This talk will describe the manner in which the Sun Grid Engine (SGE) and
the Technical Computing Portal (TCP) are to be used in support of collaborative
e-Science projects at the White Rose universities. Our presentation will
include an example of the UK e-Science project, DAME (Distributed Aircraft
Maintenance Environment), which aims to deliver a grid test-bed for distributed
diagnostics. The project builds on the White Rose Computational Grid, based
on the Sun Grid Engine, and the Technical Computing Portal that will provide
a Web-based interface to technical applications executed on any of the
White Rose Computational Grid nodes.</blockquote>

<h6 CLASS="western">
<font size=+0>Abstract:</font></h6>
With the purchase of RWTH's SunFire equipment the old queueing system (GNQS)
was replaced by SGE.
<br>The operational part works right out of the box, however, for our job
load characteristics with a broad range of job sizes with respect to memory
and required CPUs, the standard scheduler gives only a poor utilization.
<br>In the talk the specific requirements and our approaches to meet them
are presented.

<font size=+0>Abstract:</font></h6>
University of Houston (UH) is a Sun Center of Excellence in Geo sciences.
Recently, University of Houston obtained a hardware grant and setting up
a campus grid to aggregate resources across the campus. Major participants
include the HPCTools research group lead by Dr. Barbara Chapman, High performance
computing center, Advanced Geosciences lab and Mechanical engineering.
At this workshop, we will present an overview of the hardware and software
setup of this campus grid under construction. Also, we explain the EZ-Grid
system being developed at UH for easier setup, managing and efficient usage
of grid environments. The major components of the system include integrated
resource broker, usage policy management frameworks and information services.
The interfaces with Globus toolkit and Sun Grid Engine are to be presented.
We also expect to receive feedback from the workshop participants on improving
our EZ-Grid system and tightly integrating with Sun Grid Engine software.</blockquote>

State &amp; what's missing</font></i>
<p>The current state of the TCP have been discussed and missing features
and enhancement requests for a future feature set have been identified.</div>

<blockquote>
<li>
iPlanet Portal server is currently required</li>

<li>
installation currently sometimes difficult, at least not straightforward,
needs cleanup</li>

<li>
installation under root -> root access should be singled out in a special
controlled component, the rest should for security reasons not run as root</li>

<li>
adding of new applications needs a lot of admin interaction and adoptions,
so it is currently not easy</li>

<li>
MAC browser cannot work with TCP (netlets)</li>

<li>
NT support not available</li>

<li>
configurability not too easy</li>

<li>
missing documentation, buglist, FAQ</li>

<li>
shared filesystem needed in the current implementation</li>

<li>
Unix account necessary</li>

<li>
file organization of TCP generated files not structured enough</li>

<li>
hook to an existing security framework/environment missing</li>

<li>
prototype is running quite stable and reliable</li>

<li>
setup changes are requiring some amount of admin work, should be easier</li>

<li>
access of password protected web content from a channel was not possible</li>

<li>
Javascript is required</li>

<li>
navigation within forms should be enhanced (too many windows popping up/down)</li>

<li>
customizable views for different users dependent on their authentication/authorization
record should be possible</li>

<li>
workflow integration would be nice, macro functionality to replay a set
of actions</li>

<li>
netlet technology available, but has restrictions (with VNC e.g. OpenGL
not working); should be available to get visualization from a host where
the data are or which has the corresponding capabilities</li>

<blockquote>
<li>
utility functions should be supported by the portal (e.g. converters, visualizers
etc.)</li>

<li>
better output handling should be available (e.g. visualization from any
machine through VNC or whatever, output file handling should be more sophisticated
to suppress unnecessary file transfers)</li>

<li>
independence from iPlanet</li>

<li>
On what standards is TCP based and who is defining them ?</li>

<li>
ease of installation/administration/application integration</li>

<li>
user profiles should exist and be connected to a security infrastructure,
logging and trace facilities should be available</li>

<li>
user space customization and application adding should in certain limits
be possible</li>

<li>
better job monitoring facilities should be available</li>

<li>
web service support</li>

<li>
EJB support for persistence</li>

<a NAME="Closing Discussion"></a><font size=+3>Closing Discussion</font></h3>
The workshop was closed with a roundtable discussion around the topics:
<ul>
<li>
<b>Grid visions for the mid and long term future</b></li>

<li>
<b>Applications suitable for Grids</b></li>
</ul>
The discussion was quite controversial. The visions stated ranged from
Grids consisting of tightly managed resource provider centers coupled by
Grid infrastructure to a globally spread pool of resources where everything
is a Grid service. If there is any conclusion which can be drawn from the
discussion then it is that more information exchange is required between
those researching in the Grid space and those being interested in operating
Grid environments to solve exisiting problems. This information exchange
seems mostly needed in the definition of user requirements and problem
scenarios to be solved.
